Tool-assisted movies

Apparently, the team of adelikat, Deign, Cardboard and JXQ had been working some time on this movie, which improves the previous movie by some 5.5 seconds (no small feat at this point), due to a wide variety of different improvements discussed in the submission message.

And of course, a wadload of extra lives are again achieved in the mandatorily slow autoscrolling levels.

For those that still prefer to see 99+ lives, the authors have also put together an alternate run that sacrifices time in order to gain those extra lives.

This movie is a whopping 24 second improvement to the previous movie. Full list of changes can be read in the authors' comments.

The homepage for Super Demo World, including the patch to be used on a Super Mario World ROM, and the program used to make the hack, is available online.

Note: Even though this is a hacked game, we do not accept all hacks. Read more in the Rules.

Times for each track are:

• 0 = 36.54 (0.96 improved)
• 1 = 38.24 (0.97 -"-)
• 2 = 38.86 (1.57 -"-)
• 3 = 41.98 (0.02 -"-)
• 4 = 41.02 (0.02 -"-)
• 5 = 31.74 (0.02 -"-)

Main improvements come from better speed handling and using more ramp boosts. Look for further info in the author's comments.

Although this movie doesn't use the magic whistles, it does skip stages, and actually skips them quite a lot, with the aid of various items such as the hammers.

Note: This movie no longer uses death as a shortcut.

This is an improvement of about 56 seconds over the previous movie.

This is the fourth run of this game, improving on the previous effort by almost two minutes.

There is more than just an appearance change to this game. Knuckles' abilities remain intact. If you haven't seen Sonic the Hedgehog completed before, you may wish to do so before seeing what a character with a spindash and gliding can accomplish.

This is Cardboard's and JXQ's second contribution to Bionic Commando, this time improved by about 4.5 seconds.

This movie is several minutes faster than the previous unpublished movie by kirbymuncher, and is well over ten minutes faster than the original by Bisqwit.

This run is played in two-player mode with the author controlling both characters. It aims for showing off and being entertaining while still being reasonably fast. A code is used to access the highest difficulty level.

Items that can be obtained include boots which allow a double-jump maneuver, and a sword, which causes multiple hits when the character's energy is low. Bosses are defeated quickly by using this sword power-up, after taking enough damage to activate its extra power.

Selected Quote from the authors:

We looked at previous submissions and demonstrations of this game and tried to include the most entertaining parts of what was available, and add in a few ideas of our own along the way. Hopefully you'll get a kick out of it.

This run uses the 'Extra Game' password (up+select+A at title screen), which makes the enemies and bosses much more aggressive and damaging than usual.

This is a 32 second improvement over the previous movie by Spezzafer.

This movie by JXQ is about 108 seconds faster than the previous version by Juan Pablo López. Most of the improvement comes from finding clever ways to reduce the immense lag that this game experiences at some points.

This movie abuses death to a large degree to obliterate the game in record time.

Skate Or Die 2 is quite an unpopular NES game, mostly due to the game sucking and the controls being unresponsive. Luckily, bad programming can work to one's advantage in a project like this. Luck manipulation is also a big part of getting through this game quickly.

Skate straight!
